D3 is in fact a great Game ... but only for one season. When you figure out how things work, it instantly gets boring. I will never ever touch this game again. Its a very simple game without true minmaxing of gear/stats etc and an added multiplayer mode that’s quite cool but doesn’t resemble Diablo at all. It’s a boring retarded leveling fest, which could be efficiently done only by two/a couple of characters. No dopamine rush when getting loot.

D2 was designed to be played hardcore. Softcore was added last minute after the fact. That's one of the fundamental reasons everything is so balanced.
And come to think of it, D1 was also straight up hardcore. Both games were vastly superior to D3.
People wanted to talk about the RMAH or some other jank, nah this most fundamental reason.
In D3's case softcore was baseline, and hardcore was added in after the fact.
And this is why I fear for D4.

p.s. hardcore in d2 is the deez nutz
p.p.s i played softcore for 20 years

The reason is BAD visual design, and BAD itemization.
